In this article, the linear and nonlinear optical properties of black phosphorus thin films are investigated and shown to be controllable by the thickness of the thin film, indicating that the properties can be tuned by the film thickness.Abstract:
Black phosphorus has been recently rediscovered as a new and interesting
two-dimensional material due to its unique electronic and optical properties.
Here, we study the linear and nonlinear optical properties of black phosphorus
thin films, indicating that both linear and nonlinear optical properties are
anisotropic and can be tuned by the film thickness. Then we employ the
nonlinear optical property of black phosphorus for ultrafast (pulse duration
down to ~786 fs in mode-locking) and large-energy (pulse energy up to >18 nJ in
Q-switching) pulse generation in fiber lasers at the near-infrared
telecommunication band ~1.5 {\mu}m. Our results underscore relatively large
optical nonlinearity in black phosphorus and its prospective for ultrafast
pulse generation, paving the way to black phosphorus based nonlinear and
ultrafast photonics applications (e.g., ultrafast all-optical
switches/modulators, frequency converters etc.).read more

TL;DR: It is shown that the opacity of suspended graphene is defined solely by the fine structure constant, a = e2/hc � 1/137 (where c is the speed of light), the parameter that describes coupling between light and relativistic electrons and that is traditionally associated with quantum electrodynamics rather than materials science.

Graphene photonics and optoelectronics
TL;DR: Graphene has high mobility and optical transparency, in addition to flexibility, robustness and environmental stability as discussed by the authors, and its true potential lies in photonics and optoelectronics, where the combination of its unique optical and electronic properties can be fully exploited, even in the absence of a bandgap, and the linear dispersion of the Dirac electrons enables ultrawideband tunability.

Phosphorene: An Unexplored 2D Semiconductor with a High Hole Mobility
TL;DR: In this paper, the 2D counterpart of layered black phosphorus, which is called phosphorene, is introduced as an unexplored p-type semiconducting material and the authors find that the band gap is direct, depends on the number of layers and the in-layer strain, and significantly larger than the bulk value of 0.31-0.36 eV.
